MR.. JOHN S. WISE addressed 81 secret
meeting of the colored Mahcneites in Rich
mond last Monday night. This shows that
q change has come over the spirit of Mr..
Wise's dreams respecting the equality OF the
races since his famous announcement that
he talked to negro politicians in his kitchen.
But whether he talks with them in hall
or in his kitchen, they viii all vote
with him, not specially for him or his party,
but because he is opposed to The democratic
party; and any other estimate of the colored
vote will be disappointing.
